Gospel Gangstaz

Formed by DJ Dove, Chilly Chill, Tic Toc, and Mr. Solo, the Gospel Gangstaz brought together onetime Los Angeles gang-bangers who later spread the Lord's message via the hard beats and gritty rhymes of the West Coast rap sound. Their first release, Gang Affiliated, appeared in 1994, after which the group returned two years later with Do or Die and issued I Can See Clearly Now in 1999.
